`Financial markets are terribly important in a modern economy. Yet, economists have mostly preferred to approach money from highly simplified perspectives that shunt the complexities of finance to one side. Still, from time to time, economists have tried to grasp the nettle. Ingrao and Sardoni provide a highly readable historical account of those efforts to integrate banking and finance into macroeconomic theory, which illuminates both why the problem is a difficult one and why it is important.' -- Kevin D. Hoover, Duke University, US `Over a decade since the 2008 financial crisis, this new book by Bruna Ingrao and Claudio Sardoni provides an in-depth historical investigation into how economists have dealt (or not) with the relationship between economic performance and financial instability since the late 19th century until the modern day. This is a much-needed contribution to the history of monetary macroeconomics, with solid analytical foundations.' -- Mauro Boianovsky, Universidad de Brasilia, Brazil `By historically analysing the ways in which macroeconomic theories have conceptualized the role of banks and financial markets, this book solves the puzzle of why mainstream macroeconomics put the financial system in background even though it had expanded enormously in its complex interaction with the real side of the economy.' -- Mario Amendola, University of Rome, Italy
